After his heart stops for five seconds, he wakes up bound to the “Like Father, Like Son” System, which lets him switch at will between LeBron James's abilities at any stage of his career.
In the 2026 playoff first round, the Lakers and Rockets battle into a decisive Game 7. LeBron James is injured and leaves the game, with the Lakers down twelve points and the outcome all but settled.
Bronny comes off the bench and dribbles past half court, only to be deliberately knocked down. His heartbeat stops, and the System activates.
Three minutes. Fourteen points. A comeback against the Rockets.
The Lakers' home arena, Staples Center, rings with chants of “MVP!”
In the second round, they face the Thunder: the defending champions, with an MVP and a DPOY.
Before tip-off, Bronny stands in the players' tunnel and says one thing to his father:
“I'll walk the rest of the way for you.”
